SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the installation and maintenance of the Liebert Static Transfer Switch 2 (STS2). WARNING The unit is supplied by more than one power source. The unit contains hazardous voltages if any of the input sources are ON, even when the unit is in bypass.
VERVIEW OF ANUAL The Liebert STS2 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual is organized in a logical progres- sion so that you can follow the procedures, in the order provided to get your Liebert STS2 installed and running. Read the entire manual before proceeding with the unpacking and installation of the Liebert STS2. The major sections are as follows: Important Safety Instructions—review the instructions on the previous page before proceeding.
Under typical operation and with the doors closed, only normal safety precautions are necessary. The area around the static transfer switch should be kept free from puddles of water, excess moisture and debris. The vent grate in the front of the system should not be obstructed in order to ensure a smooth air flow through the unit for cooling.
• If any damage as a result of shipping is observed, file a damage claim with the shipper within 24 hours and contact your local Emerson Network Power representative or Liebert Services at 1-800-543-2378 to inform them of the damage claim and the condition of the equipment.
2.2.1 Handling Considerations The static switch is bolted to a wooden shipping pallet to allow handling by forklift equipment or a pallet jack. Easily Moved — The unit is furnished with integral castors that allow the unit to be rolled into place after it has reached its location and is removed from the pallet.
For dimensions of each unit, see Figures 5, 6 and 7 in section 7.0 - Installation Drawings on page 18. If your unit is equipped with an optional key lockout switch, see Figures 8 through 10 for location of that switch.
Altitude The standard units are designed for full load operation up to 4000 feet (1200 m) above sea level. See Figure 1 for recommended deratings for altitudes greater than 4000 feet (1200 m). Figure 1 Recommended derating for high altitude operation Operation at full load at a higher altitude can be accommodated in ambient temperatures less than 104°F (40°C) ambient.
Leveling and Anchoring the Static Switch Using Floor Stand The Liebert STS2 can be installed using the optional floor stand to support the unit instead of using the raised floor.
CAUTION Risk of unit damage. The input sources to the static switch must be grounded-wye sources. Input sources other than solidly grounded-wye sources may cause damage to the switch. The Liebert STS2 is designed for operation with 3- or 4-wire, solidly grounded sources only.
Figure 3 Typical static transfer switch one-line diagram SOURCE 1 K2 K3 The input and output power wire size should be based on the upstream overcurrent protection device, observing the NEC and local codes. The molded case switches contained in the Liebert STS2 are typically non-automatic circuit breakers that rely on the upstream and/or load overcurrent protection.

You can select the type of switch used for this remote control. Connections are made to four of the connections, using Form A dry contacts. The con-...
Note: Pin 16 not used on TB1, TB2, and TB3. Optimized Transfer When the Liebert STS2 is used as a primary-side switch—on the primary of an isolation trans- former—optimized transfer greatly reduces the transformer magnetization current during automatic transfers through a new transfer control algorithm. The Liebert algorithm (patent pending) optimizes the transfer timing so that the volt-seconds applied to the downstream transformer primary is bal- anced, minimizing peak saturation current.
The Comms Board is equipped with a modem interface for remote reporting of the present switch sta- tus information, alarm history information, and the history of status screens that are triggered upon a major alarm event.
The alarm silence button is not disabled when in the lockout position. The switch is located behind the front door but can be operated without opening the front door. See Figures 8 to 10 for the key lockout location on each unit.
6.11 Input Junction Boxes and Cables Two input power junction boxes and interconnecting cables provide under floor connection for the two input power feeds. Power terminal blocks are provided in each junction box for the connection of the input power conductors and a parity-sized ground conductor. The junction boxes are NEMA 1 enclo- sures.

NTRODUCTION TO System Description A Liebert STS2 provides an automatic, seamless transfer between input power sources to an output load. The Liebert STS2 monitors the input sources, to ensure each source is operating within set parameters, as well as ensure that each source is within acceptable tolerances for a transfer between sources to be completed.
For a transfer to be completed between input sources, the sources must meet certain parameters, or the transfer cannot take place. Uninterrupted transfer between sources is inhibited due to input source failure, sources out of sync, switch failure, or the unit is in bypass mode. Introduction to Liebert STS2 Operations...
8.2.4 Bypass The static transfer switch can be manually bypassed to allow the power from a source to directly flow to the output load. This bypass allows the unit’s electronics to be serviced without dangerous voltages being present. The Liebert STS2 includes key-interlocked maintenance bypass breakers that allow either input source’s electronics to be bypassed for maintenance without interruption of power to the load.
9.1.1 Liebert STS2 Static Transfer Switch The Liebert STS2 is a 3-pole, double-throw, solid state automatic transfer switch that is fed from two sources. The Preferred source is the input source that normally carries the load when both sources are available.
Liebert STS2 automatically triggers an alarm and trips open the other source isolation breaker. In the event of an open SCR, the switch automatically triggers an alarm and transfers the load to the other source. All open and shorted SCR alarm conditions are latched and require the system to be repaired and reset to restore normal operation.
All switches in the Liebert STS2 are plug-in types, which allows any switch to be replaced without de- energizing the output bus. The Merlin Gerin breakers have an interlock in the plug-in base, which prevents the switch from being withdrawn in the CLOSED position.
9.2.4 Logic Modules The logic contains three separate redundant logic modules. The modules contain the logic necessary to run the Liebert STS2 and control transfers and shunt trips under all circumstances, without any outside assistance once set-up and started properly. 9.2.5 Audible Alarm An audible alarm is installed on the control board.
8. Verify that boxes for the preferred source and corresponding static transfer switch are highlighted on the Mimic screen, indicating which side of the Static Transfer Switch is on. 9. Close Output Breaker CB3 (and CB3A in redundant output configurations).
Without using bypass, if a failure occurs in the switch components for remaining source, the Liebert STS2 does not have a second source to switch to and the load would not receive power. See Maintenance Bypass on page 67 for bypass instructions.
The Liebert STS2 is equipped with two key-interlocked, bypass breakers, CB4 and CB5, to allow man- ual bypass of the switch electronics for either input source in the event of switch failure or for mainte- nance of the switch. Refer to the static transfer switch one-line diagram (Figure 3). While operating on maintenance bypass, all voltages are removed from the Liebert STS2 electronics to facilitate safe repair, without de-energizing the load using a make-before-break switching sequence.

To bypass the switch for Source 1: NOTE If you wish to bypass the Source 1 static transfer switch but Source 2 is presently active, you must first transfer to Source 1. See Manual Transfer / Preferred Source Selection on page 66.
To bypass the switch for Source 2: NOTE To bypass the Source 2 static transfer switch when Source 1 is presently active, you must first transfer to Source 2. See Manual Transfer / Preferred Source Selection on page 66. 1. Verify Source 2 is supplying power via the Mimic.
The History Log allows you to replay the events leading up to the alarm and the events right after the alarm to see the status of the switch at that time and diagnose the cause of the alarm. The History Log is triggered when certain events are tripped that have the Freeze option enabled.
These events indicate a device failure. The device must be replaced and the system must be restarted for the fault to clear. A shorted SCR automatically trips open a source input switch (CB1 or CB2) to prevent transfers in the event of an SCR failure. The SCR failure must be investigated and repaired before returning the switch to normal operation.
